- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and blend the flavors.
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
